While not everyone may think of bicycles as high-tech products, bike design involves complex physics and frequently unknown interactions among multiple physical phenomena. A key challenge is the tradeoff between aerodynamic efficiency optimization and comfort and ride quality. Aerodynamic bikes are traditionally known for their harsh rides and poor handling, Trek notes.
